Roots.sg was conceived in 2014 to be the foremost digital concierge for people wanting to delve into Singapore’s heritage. It aims to be synonymous with “Google” for everything related to Singapore’s history, heritage and culture.

This is the first time that Singapore’s diverse heritage resources have been collated in such a comprehensive and holistic manner on a digital platform, and it involved the cataloguing of more than 100,000 artefacts and multimedia resources. Digitisation of our National Collection is an ongoing process as we continue to add to, and improve, the quality of our collections.
